The New Camp Cookbook by Linda Ly is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early August.
Faintly similar to the atmosphere for a cookbook I read earlier, called Best Served Wild, this book approaches camping food of breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and drinks with a fully outfitted site that has cold storage, a grill, chimney starter (my personal favorite piece of equipment from Girl Scout camp), and one or two Dutch ovens. *thumbs up* My kind of place. The stand-out, most awesome recipes are bacon-wrapped trout stuffed with herbs, grilled Italian loaf, charred romaine salad with lemon-anchovy dressing, egg-in-a-hole grilled cheese, grilled skirt steak and baby bok choy with ginger-soy butter, Dutch oven deep-dish soppressata and fennel pizza, ruby red grapefruit shandy, and nutty caramel s'mores.

Solid introduction to car camping cooking; the first chapter, "Setting up a Camp Kitchen," is great.
I would have liked a section about lunches you can make in the morning over your stove and take with you while you're out for the day. The author did have some recipes with prep at home, but another chapter with food you completely make at home and bring with you to eat as is or just reheat would have been useful, too.
We will be trying the Grilled Guacamole the next time we're camping.

Fairly involved cooking for camping, but a great way to get inspired and find things that work for you and your family based on what you have on hand
This is a major winner in the camp food department. I love the idea of preparing some items or recipe ingredients before heading out to the campground. I am a beginner regarding camp cooking and the Stovetop Skillet Pizza, Chai Tea, Chai Spiced Oatmeal, Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix, Buttermilk Pancakes with Mascarpone and Berries, and Chicken in Thai Peanut Sauce won rave reviews from fellow campers. I don’t have a Dutch Oven and that will be next! Great recipes, instructions on the process of camp cooking, and layout of the book make it a real bargain.
3.5 stars. This cookbook has great basic information for equipment to take on a camping trip. It features quite a few Dutch oven recipes. Each recipe has an icon denoting how it is cooked-- Grill, Dutch oven, campfire, camp stove-- which is very helpful. There are also notes for recipes on how to use up the rest of an ingredient used in that recipe-- for example, how to use the rest of the buttermilk you've opened for pancakes. I wish all cookbooks had that! The recipes in this book are for gourmet campers. There are several fresh fish recipes, which would be helpful if you're fishing but I'm unlikely to put an entire red snapper in my cooler. There is a recipe for making fresh pizza dough pizza in a Dutch oven. There are also some yummy-looking drink recipes. These are absolutely car camping recipes, and I'd say they are targeted to adults. They look delicious but definitely demand a lot of time at the camp kitchen. If that's your happy place, you will love this cookbook. If you are chasing around little kids and trying to just get food on the table as soon as possible, you might not enjoy this book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing a galley of this book. My thoughts are my own.

I have gone through this book. Some of the recipes are pretty complex for camping, especially when you have limited resources and space. I will definitely try some of these in preparation for an upcoming trip to Alaska.

Proof that simple and tasty gourmet camp cooking exists! Includes primer on supplying and maintaining your camp kitchen gear. Aimed at the camper willing to haul in fresh foods, these recipes are a foodies delight!
I really enjoyed the mix of basic information and gorgeous photographs. This is a wonderful cookbook for anyone who wants to learn more about cooking on outdoor fire. TBH, I haven't used any of the specific recipes yet, so far I have used it more as a reference and guide.
